After Khalil Mack was traded, it was reported that one team said they wanted Mack but couldn't let go two first-round picks considering this year's would be a Top 10 pick.
Is there any question at all that that team/GM was Buffalo/Beane?
With Derek Anderson, Buffalo's offense averages 4.5 points per game (thanks to our kicker).
I could go on but I'm pretty sure that stat alone hammers it home, right?
Because (a) his play was not nearly at the level of the salary we were paying him, (b) the team saved $56 million in cap space by trading him, and (c) after this season all of the Dareus dead cap will vanish for good.
Cap is cap whether it’s dead or alive I don’t care. I’d rather get rid of it all in one fell swoop in 2018 then let it linger for the next five years. Like a bandaid...RIGHT OFF.
Ragland is a bum and trading Darby got us Harrison Phillips who I’d much rather have for the next four years than having Darby for one. But keep crying those tears if it makes you feel better.
Darby? Is corner a problem for this team?
Watkins? It would be nice to have him but who knows what went down leading up to them declining his 5th year option.
Ragland? Who?
Dareus? Are you still talking about defense like it’s a problem?
Delayed gratification.
The opposite approach to the last regime, who always thought we were so close to being Super Bowl contenders that they didn’t bother to let themselves worry about the 800 pound gorilla that was the future salary cap.
Whaley is the one who signed all those high-priced players to bloated, back-loaded contracts. McBeane is cleaning up the mess so the team can actually have a future.
